M512-3 Juggler : User Guide

Juggler and Compere

All the details and settings are held in the Project file, which governs how every member of the

Project Group behaves. Whichever instance of the Compere software takes control (the one assigned

as server), like a stage manager, coordinates and distributes this set of stage instructions to all

instances of Compere, which includes every Juggler in the Group. If any of these members, as clients,

wants to make changes at any time, the changes are handed back to the server to redistribute

around the Group.

Any client joining the Project Group is handed the common current Project file and performs as

directed. In this way any PC running Compere on the network can join the Project Group, become the

server or stay as a client and interact with the rest of the Group. This might be to make static changes

in the ‘stage set’ or to move things around dynamically, such as picture-in-picture elements.

If network connection is lost by any Juggler in a Project Group, the local copy of the Project will keep

running until it can reconnect and re-sync with the Group, at which point any changes to the Project

file will be received from the assigned (or a reassigned) server.

The wider network

There can be more than one Project Group, each with an assigned server to coordinate it. They can all

be on the same network, and any member can be moved from one Group to another as required. If

you need other Groups, they can be created and named, and available members assigned to them

instead of the initial default (unnamed) Group.

Features and capability of the Juggler pixel processor

Modular FPGA-based pixel processor.

Configurability: multiple Juggler modules can be daisy-chained via high-speed fibre-optic link, to

add additional input and output capability within a 16K × 4K 10-bit 4:4:4 canvas, or equivalent

bandwidth.

Video scaling, video matrixing and picture-in-picture capability, genlocking, framerate conversion.

Failover redundant source management with 7thSense IntelligentSource™ (API available).

DisplayPort™ 1.2, 12G SDI and HDMI™ 2.0 (optional HDCP™ compliant)

DisplayPort output SST to MST conversion.

Supports 10-bit 4:4:4 – internal processing at high precision.

Colourspace mapping via 3D LUT.

External control over IP.

User interface: 7thSense Compere software.

Warp, blend, and black level output support via MPCDI (2D MPCDI).

NDI® 4.5 confidence monitoring.
